I tried playing around with this, and it looks like perl limitations for
integer sizes don't let us grow in that direction (although it's
possible they might for some builds of perl for some architectures).
As a work around, when you reach max capacity, create a new bloom
filter, and wrap the whole thing so that $mybloom->check() checks in all
existing filters, and $mybloom->add() adds to the one that still has
leftover capacity.
Now that I think about it, this sounds like it might be a useful module..
You can recompile Bloom::Faster's libbloom.so with a different BIGNUM
type to vary max allowed capacity according to what your architecture
allows (I think it's long long by default).
